I found this great deal on newegg, combining the Cooler Master Storm Sniper case and the Cooler Master UCP 700w power supply
I'm building a new PC around the end of the year and i just figured that this deal is too good to pass up.
I really like the look of this case, and it has many great features (but no removable motherboard tray!! )
The PSU got many good reviews, and 700w should be plenty to power the parts that i'm planning on buying (especially since Shadow's PSU can power his PC, and its 620w)

So, what do you think? Should i buy it now, wait and see what else is released, or maybe even buy something completely different? This will be my first personal build (i build a PC for my friend a few months ago), so i'll need a few pointers on what to get and what to wait for, but that won't be until around christmas.

Note: I'm 100% sure that i'm going with an ATX mid tower, not a full tower

Edit: Forgot to post the link

I just noticed that the PSU is non-modular, which can be a nightmare (i learned from my friend's PC)
I still like the case though

roflolwtfbbq @ that power supply for $165

Seriously.

Corsair 850W (which cockslaps that cooler master) with a better 12V rail for $120 after rebate.

And the case: Meh, mid tower.

yeah, i know, mid tower, i just don't have space for a full tower.
Thanks for the recommendation on the PSU

If you're gonna go with CM just get the HAF case and a corsair HX line PSU, fuck non-modular.

I'm pretty sure that i said that i can't use an ATX full...but thanks for caring? (even a little?)
Yeah, i learned my lesson on non-modular power supplies. I'll just wait and start buying parts later when prices drop and new stuff comes out.

Edit:
Unfortunately for that case, i only have a space 22.25" high for a PC, so i really need an ATX mid.

f*ck it, the Cooler Master Storm Sniper won't fit either. I don't feel like explaining the problem i have with space, i'll just have to find a new location.
